The drops can be considered a type of poison or blessing in Rowena's life, as they were placed by an unknown individual and caused her death.
Although you haven't shown the story this question refers to, we can say from the context of the question that it refers to "Ligeia" written by Edgar Alan Poe.
About "Ligeia" we can say that:
- This is a short story that shows a narrator in love with Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligent woman.
- The narrator, however, marries Rowena, a woman he does not love and does not intend to love.
- Ligeia dies throughout the story, which leaves the narrator extremely depressed and violent.
- Rowena is very afraid of him and lives miserable, trapped in a loveless marriage. This deteriorates her health very badly.
- When Rowena is agonizing in her bed, a mysterious and invisible individual drops red drops into the glass that Rowena goes to have a drink from.
- These drops cause Rowena's death.
- In this case, the drops can be seen as a poison, which took Rowena's life, or as a blessing, as it brought peace to her soul.
- The mysterious individual can be interpreted as the spirit of Ligeia, who wished to free Rowena from her suffering, or as the narrator who caused Rowena's death as a way of getting rid of her presence.
Based on this, we can see that Poe wanted to convey a very strong message through the short story. This message showed that love is such a strong and overwhelming feeling that it can create terrible and frightening situations.

Answer:
Imperialism is often associated with exerting control over people and territories. It is directly related to the use of force, be it military or not - maybe some sort of financial and cultural control.
We can see those characteristics in this excerpt. It is typical of imperialist minds and the propaganda they spread to claim that it is all done for a greater good. Even death. It is only another step on the way up. That can be clearly seen in the following sentences: "you can not destroy practises of barbarism, of slavery, superstition, which for centuries have desolated in the interior Africa, without the use of force" and " we may rest assured that for one life lost a hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and the prosperity of the people will in the long run be eminently advanced."
